Healthy Weight Loss

A new determination.

I have decided that I need to buckle down and release this weight. I try not to say l-o-s-e weight because I believe words have power and I don't want my subconscious going "Lost? We lost something? Ok I'll fix that and add more."

I am at the heaviest I have ever been after years of yo-yo-ing between 120 and 140. I am now 180,nearly 190 and feeling it. Most of this was put on during a very stressful time in my life. Now that I have a better outlook, I want to feel better too.

According to the BMI chart I should be around 100lbs (i'm 5 ft tall). So i'm trying to think of accessible goals and ways of achieving them.

My biggest thing is doing exercises that I actually will want to do at home. I love dancing, particularly belly dancing, so I'm looking for video instructionals I can do at home. I also used to do kung fu and ken-do. I'd be willing to do other types of work outs as well but my biggest thing is something that will keep me from being frustrated and bored.
Does anyone have any suggestions for dvd's that I might be able to get my hands on?
